Golden Village is a cinema operator in Singapore and a helper of Orange Sky Golden Harvest, a Hong Kong-based film production company. [1] Established in 1992 as a joint venture between Golden Harvest and Village Roadshow, the company operates 15 multiplexes and cineplexes across Singapore. [2] It introduced Asia’s first multiplex at Yishun in the same year. [3]
Golden Village Pictures, the film distribution division of Golden Village, has distributed titles from Village Roadshow Pictures, including The Matrix trilogy, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory , Happy Feet , and The Lego Movie in Singapore. Additionally, the company distributes acquired films in regional and global markets.
Golden Village opened its first cinema in Singapore on 28 May 1992 with the Yishun 10 complex, marking the introduction of Asia’s first multiplex. [1] In 1998, the company expanded with the launch of GV Grand at Great World City, featuring six screens, including a Gold Class hall. [2] During the early 2000s, one of the halls was converted into an IMAX theatre, but it closed in 2004 due to low patronage. The company also operated a location at Eastpoint, which closed in 2002. [4]
In October 2006, Golden Village opened a multiplex at VivoCity, the largest multiplex in Singapore, featuring 15 screens, including three Gold Class screens and GV Max, one of the largest cinema auditoriums in the country. [5] Its current flagship cineplex is located at Suntec City, with 11 screens, including three Gold Class screens, occupying the space previously used by WE Cinemas and The Rock Auditorium. [6]
In June 2017, mm2 Asia, a Singaporean-based media company, announced its intention to acquire Village Roadshow’s 50% stake in Golden Village. [7] However, the acquisition did not proceed as Village Roadshow failed to get approval from Orange Sky Golden Harvest. [8] Subsequently, in October 2017, Orange Sky Golden Harvest acquired Village Roadshow’s stake, becoming the only owner of Golden Village. [9]
As of 2023, Golden Village operates 15 multiplexes across Singapore, continuing to be a major player in the country’s cinema industry. [9]
As of 2023, Golden Village operates 15 cinemas with 119 screens in Singapore. [10] All cinemas that opened before 2000 have been refurbished. GV@Capitol screens movies from December to March every year and is not associated with GV.
